A belated post on bibs….
Way back in November I bought a teeny tiny portable sewing machine. The reason? I had found and bought some cute chick print fabric from Hart’s Fabric, and wanted to make some baby bibs for my friend Pat. We had had a little bib making session together with both my pregnant girlies before we moved […]
A matching horseshoe cable cowl.
Monday was new keys day! Super Exciting! When we get our stuff, that will be even more exciting, but this is exciting nonetheless. Our container has cleared customs #Yeah Customs! #Younailedit! But……………… is now awaiting a delivery slot so we can get it picked up from Oakland, and delivered to our new place……. Bah! Anyhow, […]
Christmas Cake and a Cozy Hat – another finished WIP.
I went for a hike last week, and the weather had turned “California Cold”. I didn’t even own any gloves. Let alone a hat. For the most part of the hike, I didn’t even need my coat. Hiking uphill will do that to you. But once we got to the top? Man it was chilly! […]
Sharky Wristwarmers – an actual finished WIP!
When our friends first booked to come to visit in February, we were still working together, and the one request Colin had was that we go see some sort of sports game. He didn’t really mind what, but not “Soccer” (I am afraid I will still call it football FOREVER), so we looked up the […]
Bicycle Clutch
This little lovely I finished way back before we moved, wrapped it up, and left it with my friend Jemma for her birthday. Scarily organised of me I know. It’s her 30th birthday after all, and while I am no longer present to make her a cake (poor show), I did put in the effort […]
Chocolate, Raisin, and Cinnamon Bread.
Yep. Another bread recipe. I can’t help it. I don’t trust this oven much with anything else, although I may have to bite the bullet and make my Christmas cake as time is really ticking away now! I was sort of hoping to wait until we move, as the new place has an electric oven, […]
A wirework Ampersand
…or you may know it simply as an “and” sign. We bought some papier mache letters from a craft store a few weeks ago, and after having them for a couple of weeks and doing nothing with them, finally I got some paper, paint, mod podge (matt), and some tools and got on with it! […]
Vegetables and Cheesy “Biscuits”
So… Happy Thanksgiving! Now I live over here I guess I need to embrace these things, We’re planning a Facetime date watching the parade with our friend Ashlei, and I made some croissants! It’s the simple Edd Kimber version of Croissant dough like I used for the Cronuts, and I made them for the first […]
Raisin and Fennel Bread
My husband is awesome. He got back from Texas on Thursday night (a long saga of delays and diversions which lead to me having to drive to SFO at midnight), and now my laptop is now back working again! Hurrah! It was a bit touch and go, I thought it might be beyond saving, which […]
Pictures from my phone.
This week is not a good week for me and technology. I dropped my phone, it is now making some very sad noises but is thankfully still working as my laptop is no longer! We had linked it up to the TV so that we could watch Netflix on the bigger screen and it messed […]
